Master of Science in Robotic Systems Engineering - Batch of 2026
4.1
A plethora of opportunities at a cost
Tips: The course is not free, a separate fee needs to be paid for admission. The average completion time of the course is 3-3.5 years. That excludes any rigorous German language study. Knowledge of the German language is essential to get post-study employment.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market is generally down in the tech sector. Over the past 5 years, the market has become highly competitive, and even talented individuals struggle to secure a job. It depends on the city where you study, which determines the density of companies offering roles in your field.

Amazing, Career Oriented, Professional Growth.
Tips: For most of the English-speaking courses, there is a tuition fee. So do not expect to be like a Free Tuition. Learn German to get easy access to the job market (at least B1 level). Scholarships are available for females. I would rate the overall experience very good.
Likes (Public transportation): Semester Tickets are issues by University which lets you access all kind of Public Transport like Buses, Trams, Local Trains etc. The German planning is well known, and hence transportation is very good here. Train delays though most of the time. But transport in cities is quite efficient.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Students can get in contact with faculty members to do their research work, and since RWTH Aachen is one of the TU9 universities, numerous applicants for Jobs have an advantage. However, it does not guarantee a Job but increases chances. Germany is a great place to live, one must appreciate the culture here. Learn German and you can be a permanent part of Germany.

One of the top universities of Germany with high reputation
Tips: Ofcourse there's a culture shift mostly in education system it's different from India and more independent like your studies your responsibility No scholarship for me, so I don't know the university is excellent but also have difficult courses and flexible semesters.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is really good in Aachen city the transportation connects every campus building and about the ticket then students get semester ticket when they pay the semester feels so students can use the public transportation without spending.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Many Indian restaurants with the high prices and do not taste like home country but it's good not worth the price though So I cook myself mostly but many other restaurants with affordable food and good taste is also there including the university canteen.

Life at RWTH Aachen University
Tips: Students should be aware that they've to be independent as much as possible. There's no spoon feeding like India. Professors/ college do the basic/ primary work and mostly its the student who have to shape their path. They've to be very much responsible and accountable.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Mostly attending classes, part times. I enjoy the free time and going to mensa. Since RWTH is once of the biggest technical Universities, there's always something on the late. There are clubs varying from technical to cultural. Events are organized almost everyday. But one should not forget why he or she is here for.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The faculty is great. Professors are approachable anytime. The methodology is very different that from India. And the cohort is diverse which helps for individuals holistic growth. I personally love the facility the university has. The student just has to recognize the opportunities and should know that patience is the key.

RWTH Aachen- Computer science
Tips: Please learn German for integration and also to get better job opportunities. It also gives you more opportunities to join student clubs and socialize with others. Finding Werkstudent jobs and full-time jobs requires German up to a certain level and gives you more options.
Likes (Value for money): The method of teaching is through a practical course- mostly assignments. Practical problem-solving is emphasized; there are some open-book exams, so learn the concepts well. All faculty are European. Main interaction is with the Ph.D. students and sometimes with professors after the lecture period.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Since it is a small student city, not many Indian restaurants are available. However, there are 3 Indian grocery stores where you can buy almost all the things we get in India, including exotic Indian vegetables, packaged items, and spices. Some Indian restaurants are there, but not very authentic. So get ready to become a chef.

Great experience. Learned a lot.
Tips: I was an exchange student as a DAAD scholar. The city and college are both very friendly to international students. I had a DAAD scholarship and used to get a monthly allowance of 992 euro also, tuition fee are wavered. Also, we used to get house rent allowance and other benefits. I had a great experience there.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty were very knowledgeable. And I learned a lot from them. They held seminars each week and were very helpful. The labs were great and had top research facilities. We also held monthly meetings to discuss what could be improved, and this approach helped us to learn a lot.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I stayed on research internships for 6 months. For this short period of stay, there aren't many options afterwards. Post-study jobs are available generally for who stayed for a longer duration and have German language skills more than B2/C1. I don't have much knowledge about post-study jobs.

Competitive yet reasonable
Tips: Do not come if you are not ready to put in the hard work. None of the professors will go easy on you. You have to earn every single mark. You will obviously experience a cultural shift that you are not ready for. The weather also takes a toll in the beginning.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors are some of the reputed individuals in their respective fields. They are as accessible as you would expect a university professor to be, but the assistants are even more accessible. They are available to answer your doubts and advise in office hours.
Dislikes (Part time work): The ratio of the no. Of available jobs to the no. Of students trying for them is very skewed. Since it is a student city (RWTH alone has more than 40k students enrolled - at least in my first semester), the competition is very high. You get paid the minimum wage according to regulations.

The ideal platform to upskill, learn and grow, provided you know the rules.
Tips: - Personally, for me, the transition was not that difficult since I grew up in an international environment. I guess for indian students, the greater deal is, will I find a community I can interact with and share common interests with? The answer is always a resounding yes. - Generally, in Germany, scholarships are not that easy to secure since the tuition feels is quite low. - Before joining a TU9 university, it's important to note that it's going to be highly research- and academically oriented, so be prepared to put in the hard miles. - I am satisfied since I found the right channel to develop my skills, the right jobs, and academic positions to pursue my interests further.
Likes (Safety): The city is pretty safe, apart from a few junkies on the street. - Knowing German helps you assimilate better and learn local culture, and that directly helps with safety. - I never felt unsafe during the wee hours of the day since everything was accessible and secure. - I just never had any bad experiences, but that's only a personal thing.
Dislikes (Internships): - The university has a career center that is always open to international students - Finding internships and jobs is more dependent on your profile - Networking with industry experts at career fair, or through the university alums, does land some positions - right now, Germany isn't doing the best in terms of jobs especially for fields like software, IT, or core-engineering/natural sciences fields like Chemistry mechanical engineering etc. Yet, there is a rapid rise in computational-based roles.

Lesser known facts of RWTH Aachen
Tips: The cultural shift is definitely there but also understood that you need to study regularly in order to perform well at the University. There is no restriction that you have to finish your courses in a limited number of semesters (4 for master's or 8 for Bachelors). You can take more than the desired count to plan your studies according to your comfort and priorities. Scholarships are there and you can avail them before coming and if you perform well in the first semester then afterwards as well. It usually range from 700-1000 per month. The University is world class and is nearly 150 years old with a lot of amazing professors and intellectual. The opportunity to work while studying is definitely a big bonus and can you help you understand both the industries very well.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty members are always approachable, and there are also multiple student assistants who can help resolve your problems. Most of the courses have both technical and practical lectures, however, the courses are more research-oriented rather than industry-oriented. The teaching faculty is also diverse, and you can find Professors from all around the world.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Germany has good job opportunities in the technical domain and data-related fields. Roles such as Data Scientist/Engineer/Analyst and AI Engineer are available. Packages depend on prior work experience, the state you will be working in, and the size of the company. Visa sponsorship is generally not a major problem for graduates.

RWTH Aachen: Top tier engineering, tough but rewarding
Tips: RWTH Aachen is an incredible place for anyone serious about engineering, but students should know that the academic pressure is real and the learning style is very independent. The university expects you to manage studies, handle German bureaucracy, and adapt to a fast, demanding pace. Knowing basic German makes daily life and admin work much easier, even if your programme is in English. The campus is spread across the city, so you'll walk a lot, and Aachen's cold, rainy winters can be tough at first. But it is all worth it.
Likes (Value for money): Indeed, in effect, you will get access to one of the finest engineering universities in Europe, the best labs, and world-class professors. The university collaborates with some of the finest companies like BMW, Ford, Continental, and others, thus creating chances for internships, theses, and jobs paying good salaries.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are barely any Indian food points available here, which is an issue but not a deal-breaker because you can always rely on either donor or pizzas to bail you out. You can always make food at home because of the availability of various Indian shops selling Indian masalas.

MSc SSE at RWTH, Spelled Out
Tips: I can say I had a fairly smooth transition. For me, it was a different experience to sit and learn among students from different nationalities. Also, it makes you more competitive and striving to be among an elite set of students who rival your intellect. The course is excellent, offering a variety of subjects from very experienced and knowledgeable faculty.
Likes (Safety): The safety, as such is pretty good. There has been an incident of women in the university a year back, but it is commendable that the university took quick and strict action against the offender. The city as such is decent, people are generally friendly, and you seldom find racism issues. Junkies do exist in some isolated areas, but they mind their own business and are rarely a problem for the general public.
Dislikes (Internships): The guidance is decent if you enquire about it. Unlike India it is not served on a platter for you. Internships are not mandatory for SSE although you could do one and it definitely boosts your CV. There are many companies in and around Aachen. Cologne and Du00fcsseldorf area, also fully remote options.

M.Sc. Software Systems Engineering at RWTH Aachen University review
Tips: The course is really theoretically heavy and less practical than you would want if your goal is to gain a job in the field. More oriented towards a PhD. Type education. There are career events where you can go and speak with multiple companies and try to land part-time or full-time opportunities. If your focus is getting a job, then you can choose this university, but make sure to look for student jobs early on to gain experience in your field.
Likes (Public transportation): The transportation is great because the university is spread out across the city and you can get there easily by bus. There are only buses available within Aachen city. Sadly, there are no trams, but you don't really need them in such a small city like Aachen. The semester fee also covers transportation costs for one semester, so it's a great value for money.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a few restaurants that have Indian food, and they are decent, I would say, but I would prefer more restaurants and better quality. They also don't have a lot of Indian cuisines, so you can mostly get North Indian stuff easily, but you'll have to go to Ku00f6ln to get good South Indian food. I usually prefer to cook at home and eat out less.

Theoretical and time-intensive but reputed university
Tips: It's very theoretical, and 40% who start don't end up graduating because of that; the exams are quite difficult, and you have to study a lot for them. But tuition is very low, just 320 euros per semester, and it's a top German university, in the global top 100. If you have plans on working in Germany, note that a lot of positions, especially in German companies like Bosch and Siemens and the car companies like BMW, expect almost fluent German skills.
Likes (Public transportation): Good connection by bus and train except to the Informatikzentrum. The bus ticket is included in the tuition fee, so it is practical, and you can even go to the Netherlands and Belgium with it. So it is very nice for traveling in your free time to get your head off of work and studies.
Dislikes (Internships): You can go to the career fair and business talks, but otherwise there is not that much focused recruiting. It's definitely possible to do internships like at BMW, Mercedes, or Siemens, although you will usually have to relocate to southern Germany for that time. Otherwise, in smaller companies in Aachen.

An International Student’s guide in Germany
Tips: Overall, the transition was smooth. RWTH has the friendliest professors compared to what I heard from my friends at other universities in Germany. If a student is not able to connect with their classmates, they can start connecting with PhD students or professors and learn about the culture and take advice on anything and everything they face. I was very satisfied with my course and even applied for a Master's programme after my semester exchange and got accepted.
Likes (Part time work): There are plenty of part-time jobs available. You need to have patience and the right approach when approaching someone for work. Part-time work is manageable along with 6-7 master level courses per semester. Average payout: 12-13 Euros/hr for academic assistant jobs and more for jobs involving labour, like at grocery stores.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are many Indian restaurants in the city of Aachen, along with cuisines from many countries. I prefer to eat outside twice a week, and the rest of the time, I cook by myself. You can get cheap groceries at stores like Lidl, which helps you keep expenses in control.

Tips: I'd say I've transitioned pretty well. In India I was constantly the top of my class, but here you'll find you are around students who are equally good or maybe above you. This helped me to learn better as I collaborated with them. I'm very satisfied with the university. The course, IMO is the best under Informatik in RWTH. It offers a lot of variety. Aachen is a good student friendly city.
Likes (Public transportation): Aachen's public transportation is pretty good. You can get even to the neighboring districts without much hassle, and the buses are fairly punctual. Train connections are good too, since Aachen is a terminus for most of the trains, they aren't very crowded when starting from Aachen. On top of that, the semesterticket from RWTH also adds areas of Netherlands and Belgium and you can also travel these areas for free with the semesterticket
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The 4 rating is not specific to the university, but to the job market. I would rate 4 for any university in Germany. RWTH is one of the most prestigious branding you can get, and still the job market is bad as of 2026. Still, some companies favor applicants from RWTH or TU9 unis in general. The company I work now only accepts applicants from TU9.

Tips: About the university, course and country its sport on if you are willing to learn German language. Even for the part time and after graduation German language skill is very important. I didn't get any scholarships or something. I have managed my finance by own. Also before joining the course please review the course first as I have seen lot of people who quite the course after 2-3 semester because the don't able to complete the exams.
Likes (Value for money): RWTH Aachen is an absolute steal when it comes to what you're actually getting for your money. Because it’s a public German university, there are zero actual tuition fees. You only have to pay a relatively small semester fee twice a year, and honestly, the perks completely cover that cost on their own. The biggest highlight is that this fee includes the country-wide Deutschlandsemesterticket. Having that means you can hop on any regional train, bus, or metro across the entire country for completely free. Just using it to travel around North Rhine-Westphalia or take weekend trips out of Aachen makes the semester contribution worth it.
Dislikes (Indian Food): As an Indian vegetarian, it is hard sometimes to find vegetarian food outside, so you should have to manage cooking with studying and a part-time job. I always prefer to cook at home rather than eating out, as it saves much more cost. But yes, you can also find Indian restaurants here in Germany. There are also Indian grocery stores where you can buy Indian groceries. Apart from that, German supermarkets also have the most common groceries like fruits, vegetables, and dairy products.

A wonderful experience at a word class university
Tips: A cultural shift will always be there but has become a bit easier as there are a large number of Indian students who come there every semester. Scholarships as such are directly limited. There are a few programs that give financial support based on academic performance. I did receive a one-time payment from such a program in the first semester. The university is one of the best in the world; of course, I would say it could have been structured a bit better; didn't feel like a specialization at the end. Germany is great all around if you speak the language.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Most of the faculty are experts in their field of study. They also have a large amount of teaching experience, which allows them to convey things quite easily, which makes it easier to understand for students as well. The course layout designed makes the lectures a lot more interactive.
Dislikes (Value for money): I had to rate value for money on the lower side because, honestly, the financial train of being here keeps creeping up with every new intake. If you're doing one of the specialized or international academy courses, the actual tuition fees are incredibly steep—especially when you realize you could get a practically identical degree for free at other public German universities. Even for the standard programs, between the rising semester contribution and the ballooning cost of rent in Aachen, it starts adding up fast. Half the time, it feels like you're just paying a massive premium just to have the RWTH Aachen brand name on your resume. The university rides incredibly hard on its reputation as this elite TU9 school, but the reality on the ground is just overcrowded lectures, completely brutal exam fail rates, and useless administrative support.

RWTH Aachen presents an amazing opportunity to learn all the essential skills.
Tips: The best part about RWTH Aachen is that tuition is basically nonexistent for almost every course. You just have to shell out around €300 each semester but that’s not actually tuition—it’s a student contribution fee and it covers your Semesterticket, which gives you free public transit across the entire state. But here’s the catch you can't ignore: you need German, period. Even if your specific master's or bachelor's degree is taught entirely in English and you can get by on campus just fine, the bubble bursts the second you try to find work. Aachen is a massive tech and engineering hub, but local companies and startups expect you to actually communicate with their teams. If you want to land a solid student job (HiWi) on campus, a part-time corporate gig or a full-time role after you graduate having a strong grasp of German is a total game-changer. Without it, you're competing for a tiny fraction of English-only roles, which makes the job hunt way more stressful than it needs to be.

Good Technical - Research-based Education Institute
Tips: Moving to Germany is a good learning experience; there are cultural differences, s especially in communication, lifestyle, and living. The university offers a good academic environment;t you are free to take any course. Also, since this is a TU, it might take 2.5 to 3 years to complete the course, which is pretty normal here. Students should be prepared for self-study, managing daily expenses, and learning German for a better lifestyle and good job opportunities. I didn't receive any scholarships, but there are scholarships offered by the university and the German government, so you can try that, t but generally I am satisfied with the university, course, and career opportunities Germany offers.
Likes (Part time work): The university offers Hiwis, and there are many off-campus opportunities in IT, retail, restaurants, warehouses, and other sectors. Part-time work is manageable with studies, and typical pay ranges from 14 to 18 euros per hour, depending on the job. Also, there are Werkstudent jobs here because the town is a technical hub for many good companies.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Germany offers a clear pathway for permanent settlement for international graduates who land jobs in their own field. However, it can take time, depending on language skills and employment contacts. I would not consider setting permanent, but instead, I would be here for like 10-12 years if I find good career opportunities.

Uni Stuttgart- worth paying 1800 Euros as fees?
Tips: The initial few weeks take time to adjust to the surroundings, especially if you come during winter, shorter days are stressful, and you wouldn't want to go out that often, so my suggestion would be to do the opposite, and you'll make better contacts. Also, Deutschland stipendium plays you 300 euros every month, which is worth it, especially since it basically covers your semester fees.
Likes (Student Life): There are lots of student clubs, to name a few, STUVUS, AEGEE, and Fachgruppe for each department. The events they organize and the freedom you'd have when you want to organize something is surreal. For example, wanting to celebrate Diwali away from home is real, and the international office at the university does provide you with that freedom.
Dislikes (Value for money): Germany is known for quality and affordable education. Though fees are being increased in several universities, universities in the state of Baden-Württemberg charge an access fee of 1500 Euros especially for international students, which does feel unfair.

Good Academics, Tough Coursework
Tips: Students need to be ready to face a tough curriculum and lots of self-study, which is the case for my course. Adapting to the German culture and lifestyle was an effort, especially due to language, living independently and budgeting. In general, I like the university and course because of the high-level technical education and computational approach. The study process is good but students must be ready to invest much effort into self-study as the workload may be heavy. It is also necessary to arrange finances well and look for Working Student or HiWi jobs in advance since it may be complicated.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The lecturers are very knowledgeable and approachable to the students. The teaching technique comprises an already established theoretical concept of computational techniques and relevant examples. Though the classes may look difficult to understand, they are simplified by the faculty and require self-study to comprehend. There is a need for personal work in the projects and simulations. The faculty is highly diverse internationally.
Dislikes (Value for money): There are free public universities in Germany where students may not have to pay around u20ac1684 per semester in tuition fees. Considering the tuition cost along with the relatively high cost of living in the city, I would consider the overall value for money to be average.

University of Stuttgart - Review
Tips: The thing that is clear is that knowledge of the German language is a must. It is not required, as the language of instruction in the universities is English. However, it will help with survival and getting employment after graduation. - Remember that this university charges a tuition fee of 1500 EUR/Sem from non-EU students, and you can opt out of taking the course in case you feel that it will cause financial problems for you. - There are certain courses which you might find difficult to finish on time, or you might even fail in them. In this way, you will need more than two years to complete the entire course. - Do not let the fear of difficulty in a course keep you away from studying it just because the seniors have made you believe that the course is difficult. Go for the course if you are interested in the contents of the course. - I have received a scholarship, but there are lots of nationwide and statewide scholarships, and the university helps you get them. - Overall, I am extremely happy with my stay at this university and in this country.
Likes (Safety): The city itself is very secure (apart from some shady areas). You can freely walk in the city at 2- 3 AM without being bothered by anyone. I personally have never felt unsafe in the city. - There are generally no gate/blocks in the university buildings, you are free to go into any class without restrictions (of course, there are exceptions to this). This is something that was a culture shock to me, as that is very uncommon in India.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a lot of Indian restaurants in the area, but not all of them are good. It's a Germany-wide problem, not just for this city. The menu is the same everywhere, and most of the time its land - adjusted to the European palate. - On average, you can expect a bill of 20-25EUR per person, depending on the kind of restaurant you go to - I usually cook myself but go out on some occasions too.

Life at University of Stuttgart
Tips: In general, Stuttgart is a beautiful city, and the University of Stuttgart is great, there are a lot of work opportunities during or after graduation. It, of course, costs much more compared to other technical universities in Germany due to its location in the state of Baden Wu00fcrttemberg. However, it can be a good investment for most people because there are plenty of companies in the Stuttgart area. A lot of people from different parts of Germany move to Stuttgart looking for work or an internship. While I have seen a lot of students in different universities doing odd jobs, students at university Stuttgart are mostly involved in teaching jobs in a working student role. There is also a wonderful scholarship opportunity called Deutschland stipendium one can avail of, which gives 300u20ac every month to the winners. Exams can be tough, at least for M.Sc. Electrical Engineering (which is what I am studying). Most students end up taking 3 years to complete 2 years Masters, although it is completely normal from a German point of view. There are excellent research opportunities right on campus, that is something I really appreciate. Lastly, we are very close to countries like France and Switzerland, one must take advantage of this and visit whenever possible.
Likes (Safety): In general, I feel very safe walking around the city. Even in the evening or in the dark at night, there is a sense of safety. In general, people are nice and welcoming. Very low crime rate or any incident of theft. Especially for women, unlike in India, girls can walk alone at night without being worried of anything. Most people mind their own business.
Dislikes (Value for money): The University of Stuttgart collects about 1700 u20ac per semester. Furthermore, the tuition fees collected do not even include the D-ticket for the month that has to be paid separately. The case is not limited to the University of Stuttgart. All universities in Baden Wu00fcrttemberg collect 1500 u20ac per semester as tuition fees, along with the semester fees that are collected by the individual universities. Given the cost of studies, I think that one can get an equivalent quality of education at other German universities without paying higher tuition fees.

Tips: Academics are quite research-oriented. Someone who is more interested in building hands-on projects rather than preparing for an exam might not like it. Otherwise, the curriculum is built in such a way that one can build their career. Apart from core subjects, students can choose supplementary modules out of 100-200 options, which makes it more flexible.

Review.
Tips: Students need to be open-minded. Take part in local cultural events like visiting the bar, attending workshops, and games night. Learning German helps, but the international student community is very large. More likely to spend most of the time in the library or dorms; hence, take whatever opportunity you get to socialise.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Expert faculty for each department. Very easy to get in touch with them. TAs also available. If you're lucky, you can get a one-on-one session with the professors. Industrial connections and projects are also available with the faculty Research driven and with a focus on engineering also.
Dislikes (Indian Food): You will find Italian, Vietnamese and Turkish food restaurants nearby. Not many Indian restaurants; even the ones that are there don't provide a lot of variety. Many grocery stores nearby, so one can definitely buy the raw ingredients and cook Frozen pizza, lasagne, sausage, plenty

University of stuttgart, A place where students can feel like home.
Tips: At the beginning, the first few days are confusing because of the language and culture. You need to figure out the documentation (German bureaucracy), places you can find supplies, friends, etc. How to organise your social life and academic life. But give it some time (1-2 months), you will be a local in no time. And yes, learn German!
Likes (Student Life): It is the best place for students to live, we have a lot of campus bars/common places to enjoy. On top of that, this university has a large number of students as foreign students, so it is a great opportunity to connect with students from all around the world.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Not many restaurants, but a lot of grocery stores where you can buy and cook for yourself. And it is costly to eat outside as a student. So it makes more sense to cook at home. There are some restaurants, but the food is not that great, to be honest. All the ingredients are available in the grocery stores.

University of Stuttgart experience
Tips: There are many ups and downs, regardless of how prepared you are, like visa extensions getting delayed, not finding accommodation in time, health issues, or several reasons that might motivate and affect the studies. So before coming to Germany in general, students should be prepared mentally and emotionally and have a straightforward reason set in mind for coming here. Lack of motivation will affect mental, emotional, and academic health.
Likes (Safety): Despite being a big city, Stuttgart is very safe relative to other big cities. Good public transportation across the city allows you to go and hang out anywhere you like within the city and come back safely by night. Public transportation runs on Sun-Thur from 5.00AM to 1.00AM. On Friday and Saturday it runs overnight as well.
Dislikes (Student Life): There are not many college clubs or active social life in college. If you know good German, you can inculcate a bit, but there aren't many events happening in the college. Students usually hang out in groups, and there is no graduation ceremony as well. So basically college is just where you develop academically and get your degree.

A Challenging and Rewarding Engineering Journey at the University of Stuttgart
Tips: If you're planning to join Stuttgart for Mechanical Engineering, the main thing to know is that German is non-negotiable. B1 or B2 German makes your day-to-day life and social integration 10x easier, even if you speak fluent English. I didn't take any scholarships and self-fund my studies here. The program itself is demanding, but the practical exposure is incredible—hands-on workshops like StutCAD give you real engineering skills, and being located right in Germany’s automotive capital opens up huge career opportunities.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent immigration gets a 3/5 purely because of the administrative nightmare at the Stuttgart Ausländerbehörde. The path itself for engineering grads is clear on paper, but the local immigration office is notoriously understaffed and painfully slow. You can wait over a year for a settlement permit (Niederlassungserlaubnis) while your application sits in total radio silence for months. Bureaucracy aside, my actual chances of settling long-term as a mechanical engineer are great—especially with local heavyweights like Mercedes-Benz and Porsche right here. I'd still stay in Germany permanently because the career growth in the Stuttgart region is top-tier, but dealing with city paperwork will test your patience.

Tips: Stuttgart is a fantastic place to be a student, but building a solid group of friends early on makes all the difference in keeping university life fun and manageable. On the funding side, definitely throw your hat in the ring for the Deutschlandstipendium. It’s extremely competitive since so many high-achieving students apply, but it’s 300€ a month if you land it, so it's worth the effort. Overall, I’ve been really happy with both my course curriculum and living in Stuttgart.

The best. You get everything you wish for here.
Tips: Even though the course is in English. I would recommend learning German for a better and easier life. Without German, it will be hard to get a part-time job, as it is their main language for communication. So be prepared rather than regretting. Other than that, it's all good here.
Likes (Value for money): It's under TU9, and its reputation really meets the quality of education. Rest it all depends how much efforts you put in. Don't overthink; come here, learn, grow, and live up to your dreams. It's one of the public university in one of the good cities in Germany, so opportunities are here but how to get them depends on how much hard work you put in.
Dislikes (Internships): It depends on students—how hard they work for it. It's very competitive here, so learn German to excel. The university offers a job fair twice a year, which can help you to get a part-time job during studies. And yes, there are many internships available for all kinds of fields.

A look into Uni Stuttgart
Tips: If you're making the move to the University of Stuttgart you definitely need to brace yourself for some serious initial culture shock—changing countries is never completely seamless. But the great thing about this campus is that it’s packed with other international students, so you are almost guaranteed to run into fellow Indians who can help you find your footing and figure out the local system during those first few weeks. You should also keep an eye out for financial aid and specialized campus initiatives; there is always a realistic shot at landing a scholarship or getting involved in targeted university programs like FEMTECH, which are fantastic for building a solid network and getting your name out there. Outside of the university itself, Stuttgart is a fantastic, highly international city with a ton of stuff to do. Looking back, I’m genuinely happy with my decision to come here and incredibly grateful for how the whole experience turned out.
Likes (Internships): When it comes to actually applying for or landing an internship, the university leaves you completely out to dry—there is basically zero guidance or support from their side. The only reason you can actually survive is because Stuttgart is a massive industrial powerhouse. Being surrounded by so many massive manufacturing and tech giants means the opportunities for technical part-time work and proper internships are way higher here than if you were stuck in some quiet, tiny college town. Even though the competition for these roles is an absolute bloodbath, the sheer volume of companies in the area means you can definitely find a job, get your foot in the door, and build up some solid local experience.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is very diverse and are knowledgeable. But according to my experience, it felt like the university took in more students than the ideal number of students they could manage. It is very competitive to find a research project or a HiWi or even a good topic for the thesis.

3/5: Better/Latest Curriculum and Job Support Needed for International Students
Tips: Honestly, you just have to study hard and get your German sorted early on. If you're coming to the University of Stuttgart, you've really got to put yourself out there to actually get the local culture and all those tiny everyday nuances. Especially with the way things are set up here—there’s zero chance you’ll find one single, magic platform where all the student opportunities are just handed to you. You genuinely have to be proactive and chase stuff down on your own.
Likes (Public transportation): As the public transportation in Germany is covered under the Deutschland Ticket, you can move across Germany under a 60-euro ticket. Public transportation is generally reliable, with not too many problems faced, except for RE while traveling from one city to another. However, occasional delays have prevented me from giving it 5.
Dislikes (Value for money): Yes, being a university under BW, this is one of the most expensive universities in Germany after TUM. So I would recommend that anyone think about ROI before applying to this university. Also, as one has to put lots of effort into their own to understand the curriculum, get a part-time job, and also explore other critical areas for self-development and learning, I would rate this university 2 on value of money, as my experience with this university was quite bad. But kindly take it with a pinch of salt as each individual has a different opinion.

Personal and academic growth.
Tips: The cultural Shifts in Germany are mostly emotional and physical. The weather, food and language are some things that took time for me. I have not applied for any scholarships but the University offers different types of Scholarships that students can apply for. Getting the scholarship does not totally depend on academics but also on extracurricular activities and volunteer work. To be honest, I got much interest in education after joining my University and the course. I learnt a lot from writing the paper to learning Soft Skills from fellow students and professors. Through the systems in my University, it has really developed a thirst inside me to be more educated and be in a better position.
Dislikes (Internships): Stuttgart has diverse Industries. Home to Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Bosch, etc and because of these big players many industries have evolved and developed in the State, creating more opportunities and making the most of the research for Germany. There are many Industry and University Collaborations happening and they have strong university research, creating many internship opportunities despite high competition.

Theory and research-oriented study program.
Tips: In Germany, there is a division when it comes to higher education - 'University' and 'University of applied sciences'. University focuses more on research and university of applied sciences focus on applied knowledge. Since Stuttgart is a University, it is more theoretical. It is completely in our responsibility to gain experience through clubs, Formula Student or similar things. So it might be stressful, but it is manageable.
Likes (Safety): Germany is generally safe compared to other European countries. Immediate help on and off campus from mentors and tutors. It is easy to get help even from the police or the general public in case of emergencies. There are lots of international affairs people in the university or general coordinators who make sure students feel safe on campus.
Dislikes (Part time work): On campus part time jobs are extremely scarce to find. Also the competition is higher. The pay is relatively very low compared to off campus part time jobs. Since International students who already pay large tuition fee, they won't be choosing on campus jobs unless they are really desperate for a part time job.

Tips: This is a university oriented towards research. Good mathematical skills are expected. There will be some cultural differences in lectures but that will be on the positive side. I did not apply for any scholarships. However, you can look for DAAD scholarships. I liked the course, teaching material and especially the professors.
Likes (Safety): The city is very well connected through public transport via the university campus. I have lived there for 3 years and never heard a concern about safety. You could see police patrolling every in the campus at night sometimes. There are many helpline numbers for emergencies. However it is always advised not to travel alone in secluded areas which is a general advice valid for every place. There is not much of a nightlife in the city, so there is not much you could do during the dark hours.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market is pretty bad at the moment. Moreover, even with good German language skills the opportunities are too less. Work sponsorship is not needed. You just need to find a job with a minimum salary range then you can get the EU blue card which is a work permit. Generally, after graduation, you can get into a PhD programme, of course you will have a stipend which is approximately 55,000. So it is pretty decent. Apart from this you can work in the industry with an average salary of 60,000 however, it is difficult to find one at the moment. Internships are easy to get but a full-time job is hard.

Challenging but rewarding journey at University of Stuttgart.
Tips: Students should be prepared for a rigorous, mathematically intensive programme. COMMAS is research driven, so self study and good fundamental knowledge in mathematics and programming are important though not necessary. Administrative processes in Germany can be slow, so patience and planning are essential.
Likes (Safety): Student residences have controlled entry systems. I have always felt safe moving around Stuttgart even when it's midnight. The police presence is consistent even when it's too late. The city is generally calm, well organised. I have never had any negative experience so far.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The teaching is highly theoretical and research oriented. The faculty is not very diverse in nationality. They are often very busy with research and projects. Some professors use advanced simulation examples, which is a unique strength. Getting quick response from the professors can sometimes be difficult.

Tips: Sometimes there are cultural socks but it is a matter of time as time passes, it becomes adaptable. There are scholarships like Deutschlandstipendium which offer 300 euros per month as a scholarship. It's a research university, so if you want to do research, it is good for you.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is efficient as most people use bus and trains rather than their private vehicles. Students are not offered a city ticket but you need to buy a monthly ticket from the German train authority but it costs 40 euros per month only.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Generally, the market is not good right now otherwise, in a normal scenario placements are good. The job roles vary from design to development to project management. The package goes for a fresher from 50,000 euros per year to 65,000 euros and for an experienced a bit higher than this.
